What is Morning Wars season 4 about?
Morning Wars explores the cutthroat world of morning news and the lives of the people who help America wake up in the morning.
In season three, the future of the network was thrown into question and loyalties were pushed to the brink when a tech titan took an interest in UBA – the fictional news network.
Unexpected alliances formed, private truths were weaponised and everyone was forced to confront their core values both in and out of the newsroom.
As for season four, things will pick back up in spring 2024, almost two whole years after the events of season three.
With the dust settled and the UBA-NBN merger now complete, we get to watch as the newsroom takes on new responsibilities, struggles with secretive motives and deals with the concept of truth in a polarised America.
In season four of the Morning Wars the story is set to leave us questioning who can be trusted and what’s real in the age of deep fakes, cover ups and conspiracy theories.
Who is cast in Morning Wars?
Along with Aniston and Witherspoon, the star-studded season three ensemble cast was led by Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Nestor Carbonell, Karen Pittman, Greta Lee, Jon Hamm, Nicole Beharie, and Julianna Margulies.
The trailer confirms rumours that Oscar winner Marion Cotillard will join the cast for season four. Also joining the cast for season four is Aaron Pierre, William Jackson Harper, Boyd Holbrook and fellow Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons.
In season four, it’s reported that majority of the cast are likely to reprise their roles. According to Deadline, Jeremy Irons will be joining the show for the upcoming season, appearing as Alex Levy’s father. Marion Cotillard is also tipped to be joining the cast as Celine Dumont, a “savvy operator from a storied European family.”
